Ask HN: Who is hiring? (October 2019)

SimplePay | Ruby on Rails Developers | UTC+4 to UTC+8 | REMOTE | $42k-$60k

SimplePay is online payroll software for South Africa, Ireland, Singapore and Hong Kong. Our software lets thousands of small business owners (and their accountants) run their payrolls without headaches, so they can focus on the challenge of building their businesses

More than half of our developers are now remote, and I'd like to continue the trend!

To find out more about us, check our developer blog (https://tech.simplepay.cloud) or about page (https://www.simplepay.co.za/about)

Stack: Our work is back-end-heavy Ruby on Rails and we use PostgreSQL as our data store. We use a bit of Vue.js but believe server-side rendering is still the best default.

Experience: Due to our full pipeline, we can only hire developers who have a few years of Rails experience at this time, or highly experienced polyglots who at least know some Ruby.

Location: UTC+4 to UTC+8 preferred, although we'll also consider candidates in UTC+1 to UTC+3 if they have the right skills and experience.

Please mail developers+hn@simplepay.cloud and include a direct link to an open source contribution you've made, or an issue you've logged, no matter how small.

Splunk | San Francisco (Partial San Jose possible) | ONSITE | VISA

Splunk is constantly looking for strong C++ programmers, especially those with experience in application design, systems programming, and/or distributed systems[1]. If you're someone that thinks in "am I causing too many IOs?" or "how many HTTP requests could be queued up when we're running 1000 nodes?", we'd like to hear from you.

We have many C++[2] positions open, but here are the 2 categories I'm the hiring manager for, with a detailed description for each. Feature responsibilities are similar, with seniority/experience as the differentiator:

Senior: https://www.splunk.com/en_us/careers/jobs/senior-software-en...

Principal: https://www.splunk.com/en_us/careers/jobs/principle-software...

Our engineers build the product on Linux, OSX, and Windows, although the product runs on far more platforms. Engineers get to choose which tools they would like to use. Experience with Makefiles (& CMake), gcc, bash, and Python are helpful, although not strictly required.

[1] We get that not everyone has had an opportunity to gain in-depth experience with each of these. If your programming / logic skills are strong, you will learn the details on the job - we work in teams here, so nobody has to go it alone.

[2] While primary duties tend to be in C++, this also implies strong knowledge of C (memory management, for example). Occasionally you have to write small amounts of Python, but this is easy to pick up on the job (or copy/pasta, we have a large corpus by now).
